There was a lot of things to be terrified of in the 1950’s: Communism, atomic bombs, fat lazy children nursed on the unholy teat that is television. With such rampaging paranoia, it’s no wonder that some of the most iconic horror movies and shows emerged from the unique era, inspired in part by one of the largest horror comic booms in the history of the printed press. Thanks to the hard work of Yoe Comics and IDW Comics, we in the far future of 2016 with our flying cars and space travel, can read what all the hubbub was all about. THE COMPLETE VOODOO VOL. 2 is the second installment of reprinted horror works originally from Farrell Publications simply titled VOODOO, and features a collection of spooky stories to keep you up at night.

With only a month and half left of the current year, Image Comics already has its sights set on the endless possibility of 2017 by announcing new plans for a new year. Along with plenty of high-end adventures and creative endeavors, the most interesting and hilarious work to hit early January shelves is CURSE WORDS. The black magic mini-series revolves around a wizard who one day showed up to Earth claiming golden intentions, even when old enemies catch up with him. Full of hipster quips and monster hits, CURSE WORDS kicks in the door of the parody genre and brings back what made the initial draw to satires so popular: respect for the source and genuine understanding of its roots.

If little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, then Lulu the Bearded Girl got a bit of fire and steak in her gullet as well. The tough talking, common sense wielding, pint-size matron of the Wrinkle’s Traveling Circus is back again continuing her adventure with the perpetually bummed out Ronny the Hairy Man and her pet monster Chimichanga that started in the first issue. As expected from the multi-talented duo of writer Eric Powell and artist Stephanie Buscema, the second issue manages to keep the momentum going as Lulu finds herself battling the ghosts of a rival circus in pop art inspired illustrations that made the initial release so successful. Heck, it’s just as fun as going to the real circus but way cheaper.

There are few creators who can be recognized on their artistic style alone, and there are even fewer whose personal style helped mold some of the biggest works in their industry. Steve Dillon did both. Famously known for co-creating PREACHER, Dillon’s contributions to the world of comics has helped move the medium from throwaway entertainment to the endless potential that it is today. Along with his collaborative partner Garth “The Menace” Ennis, Dillon and Co. reworked THE PUNISHER and HELLBLAZER, while personally contributing to ANIMAL MAN, JUDGE DREDD, X-MEN, and others. That being said, it’s no surprise that with his passing this past Saturday, bothth comic and art fans have raised a toast to the legendary giant in remembrance of Dillon.

Teams like Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon or Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb set our hearts a flutter with their ballet like coordination, and much to the delight of fans everywhere, Team Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso (Team Llosso if you will) has once again rejoined the ranks of unbeatable collaborations with Image’s newest release, MOONSHINE. Going back to their roots of high octane crime thrillers, Team Llosso adds a touch of supernatural with the latest work, proving that not only are they still the masters of pulp comics but are not ones shy away from the horror crowd.

Circuses are an iconic pastime of American culture. Carnival rides, candy-striped tents, and deep-fried food are but a sample of nostalgia colored childhoods that still blow around popular folklore like candy wrappers in the wind. Of course, none of it would be possible if it wasn’t for the hard working army of carnies and entertainers; especially the old ones long gone known only as the Freak Show. CHIMICHANGA, named after the delicious Mexican food with fans ranging from DEADPOOL to late night stoners, plays on all those gooey old timey fanfare to create a world where entertainment is still only a nickel away. From creator Eric Powell (THE GOON), CHIMICHANGA: SORROW OF THE WORLD’S WORST FACE is the second story arc in the CHIMICHANGA series and follows the adventures of a cute little bearded girl as she helps old friends and befriends new ones.

Over the past year, Double Take Comics has been invading the world of zombie horror with a ten-book comic run that spanned the gauntlet of a zombie invasion.

Ranging from superheroes to G-men to just plain dumb teenagers tripping over their own feet, each story revolves around George A. Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD universe and provides different perspectives on the same gruesome event.
